A German Soldier Who Rendered Great
Service to the Revolutionary Army.
Frederick William Augustus Steu-
ben, Baron, eminent in the service to
the American cause, at n time when it
needed help from such as he, died near
Utica, N Y, at the age of sixty-four
years Deep affection from every true
American is his due, for the order and
skill in which he brought the American
forces in their great exigency. Like
many other foreigners he left home
and wealth for the privilege of fight
ing for the American cause. He was
born at Madgeburg, Prussia. Novem-
Der Is, 1880, and received IL good edu-
cation. He entered the military SER
vice and soon rose to a position near
the King, the Frederick William. He
ranked high in the military and court
circles of Europe, because of the repu-
tation he had made in the seven years
war. He was not obliged to leave his
country but came voluntarily, and
upon arrival offered his services to
Congress. He was placed with the
army at Valley Forge and at once in
troduced the Prussian drill by adapting
it to the American troops. In the
brilliant campaign which followed his
influence was felt. He wrote book
on military science, in French, at the
solicitation of Washington and Con-
gress. He could not use the English
language. 1t was translated and was
the only book of the kind accessible to
the American soldiers during the revo-
luton. He ultimately became Ma
jor-General and his services can never
be over-estimated. He was a fervent
Christian, but was possessed of quick
temper, which would manifest itself
when he undertook to deal with raw
troops. He, however, gained the good
svill of the soldier, and would often re-
ward the apt scholar out of his, own
pocket. His life was full of noble and
generous acts, and his fortune dwin-
died away through kindness of heart
In 1890 he was voted by Congress an
annuity of $500 for life, and land.
from several States. including 10000
acres from New York. He retired to
a log house on tue latter and freely
settled some of his old ARMY acouaint-
ances Spon the land. which he PIE
scented 10 them His last years were
spent in comparative quiet Toledo

KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.

Pecuniary Benefits Be Derived From
Proper Treatment OF livestock.
Let thorough system Of reasoning
be commenced in infancy, and by the
time mature years have come, all do
nestle animals VII be useful and pleas
ant co-labOrers with us. There is
right and wrong way to do every.
thing. When'a thing appears reason
able to the understanding of person
or animal, there is generally a free
acquiescence. This can best be OBJ
tanned through kind words and gentle
treatment. The horse that under
stands the words of command is not
only trusty but is worth three times as
much as one who can be managed only
by mechanical means, and that dare
not be allowed to take a step unless
some one has hold on him. Besides,
he will do his work far more easily, be-
cause he does it voluntarily. Who
does not admire the team that can be
guided and controlled while at work
simply by the word of command? How
it lessons labor and gives the driver
more freedom to attend to his duties.
Such a team is far more desirable on
the farm than the one that has to be
guided every step by rein. The work
is easier all around.
A man should talk kindly to his ami
mails, and always tell them to do what
he wishes, just as he would his chill
6ren, and ere long he will notice that
they fully understand very many things
said to them. Let simplicity govern
him, seasoned with good sense, and he
will be surprised at the result. 1 have
often astonished my friends with my
animals. and they would ask, chow in
Che world did you teach them to dc
such things?"
But, of course, it is not every one
chat can meet with success in teaching,
3or some people haven't the faculty OF
the patience to teach. They get mad
easily and use a multiplicity of word
and oaths which excite and confuse the
animal and make what they style
blunderhead. Such people should
never attempt the education of any
ching; it would pay them far better to
let others do it, for l contend that the
education of our domestic animals is
as essential as is the education of our
children; 4. e., in a pecuniary view.
Good feeding, good usage and educa-
ton will do away with the whip and
overhead check rein, to put style and
action into mans most valuable and
faithful servant. The breeding and ed
ucation of the horse should lead more
in the channel of general purpose. See
how the trotting strain has been i'm,
proved Does any one doubt that feet
ing, breeding and training have accom-
plshed the fleetness of the horse? Let
Che same efforts extend toward general
domestic work, and ere long we may
have team capable of doing twice the
amount of work in given time. 1t is
to be regretted that very many blem-
ished old mares are allowed to breed,
and thus have a tendency to deteriorate
instead of improve. 1t costs no more
to keep a good animal (not SO much)
than a poor one, and the satisfaction
and profit in having the best should
control in this respect.-C. Henry Cook,

Invasion OF The SEA.
The Slender Means by Which the Power OF
the Ocean Is Resisted.

The Slender Means by Which the Power OF
the Ocean Is Resisted
There are portions of the land along
the sea-coast where the waves are al
ways fighting for dominion. The
wearing away of the earth is very
rapid unless these places are protected
by artificial dykes or by natural en-
bankments of sand. On the east coast
of England great changes have been
wrought within few hundred years.
Where the old maps of that coast ap-
pear incorrect, showing capes where
there are now bays, the want of accu-
racy to-day is not due to any fault of
the maps. The shore-line has greatly
changed, and villages and churches
have disappeared, or are now to be
seen under the waves.
The most wonderful thing about all
this is the slender means by which the
power of the sea is resisted. A layer
of sand of only few inches thickness,
washed up upon the edge of a marsh,
will bear all the pounding and beating
of the sea in a storm, and be made all
the firmer by what it has to endure.
And yet the same sand. when it is dry,
will drift before the wind like snow,
and will seem as poorly fitted for a
breakwater as would a snow-bank.
All along our Atlantic coast are to be
found beaches like those on the east
coast of England. which rest upon soft
mud. The means for preserving these
are as simple as the nature of the
beaches themselves, Grasses that will
grow in the sand, and will grow no.
where else, give the only protection
that can be found, and, in most in
stances, all the protection that is
needed. The variety grown is called
Marum grass in England. The name
evidently means sea-grass.
This grass was constantly sown by
the Dutch on the sand-hills which line;
and it is altogether likely that the prac-
tice of sowing it was introduced into
England from Holland in very early
times. There is said to be q wide
spread notion among the people of
Norfolk that some penalty attaches to
the gathering of Marum grass for any
purpose. This must be tradition
from times when such laws were in
force, for there is no law providing a
penalty at present. After a great
storm, in 1908, commissioners were
appointed to preserve the sea-banks on
the east coast, and it is likely they
made local rules and regulations for
the keeping of the grass.
As nature provides very simple
means for holding the water and the
sand, so the banks are threatened from
quarter from which danger would
hardly be expected. When the water
is low the rats pierce the banks with
their holes, and these quickly enlarge
in the soft sand so that single rat-hole
may prove the destruction of miles of
embankment. One thing which is not
sufficiently taken into account by those
who are interested in dyking and re-
claiming. marshes is that the peaty
soil, upon being drained, settles, and
brings the surface much lower than
before. Artificial dykes need to be
made with this result in view.-Youth'S
